DIGIFORCE® 9310 covers areas of application which, for financial reasons, have not allowed continuous forcedisplacement monitoring thus far. In the past, use has been made here of simpler systems which, for example, indicate the quality of joints purely on the basis of the maximum press-in force applied. Obviously, such methods can provide misleading results.
A very important field in the advancing clinch technology is the jointing of two mating parts without additional fasteners. In addition to conventional process value evaluation, a newly developed clinch point control function in the DIGIFORCE® provides parameters relevant to quality such as systematic tool breakages, remaining plate or lamination stack thickness recognition, from which counter-measures can be derived.
The different housing designs as panel meter, desktop and snap rail versions of our DIGIFORCE® series enable the user trouble-free integration in almost every process environment.
Decentralized single control systems or multi-channel monitoring lines such as those often required in simultaneously working press-fit stations, can now be realized even more economically using the new switch gear cabinet modules for example.
In addition to data backup and parameterization, the useroriented PC software DigiControl permits archiving, displaying and recording of measuring curves and process data for single and multi-channel applications.
